Your goods will be delivered on a 10 tonne delivery vehicle (about the size of a bin wagon). Please let us know, as soon as possible, if there will be a problem with access, so we can make alternative delivery arrangements.

These products are very heavy. There will be one driver who will help, but we suggest you have at least one other person with you to assist.

The driver will move the fireplace to the nearest wheel point, depending on access. The driver will be unable to move the goods across graveled, or unfinished drives, through narrow openings, or up steps.

We must advise that you check the goods while the driver is still there. The driver is obliged to wait with you up to 15 minutes (for palletised goods only), whilst you unpack the goods.

If the driver refuses to wait then please mark the goods as damaged on the delivery note, so you are covered for all eventualities.

If you have checked the goods and they are found to be damaged, please mark this clearly on the delivery note.

If goods are damaged please contact our Customer Service team, quoting your Order Reference and Delivery Note, and we will ensure replacement parts are sent out immediately.

If you are unavailable when your palletised fireplace is delivered at your pre-booked time, then re-delivery charges will apply.

If you are unavailable when package goods (eg. fires and fireside accessories) are delivered, the courier company will leave a note, explaining how to re-arrange delivery for a more convenient time.
